Original Caesar Salad

Cultural Context

Caesar Salad originated in Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1920s, created by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini. It was initially a simple dish made from leftover ingredients, but it quickly gained popularity for its bold flavors and creamy dressing. Today, it's a staple in restaurants worldwide, often adapted with various toppings and dressings, while still celebrating its rich history.

Capers provide a similar briny flavor without fish.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.
